Antibiotics Ineffective For Chest Infections
Dear Reader,
If you've got a cough that just won't go, perhaps caused by a mild chest infection, antibiotics aren't likely to help in your treatment according to a report in the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal. Chest infections are one of the most common complaints of patients and many are accustomed to asking for medications when they are not feeling well. Unfortunately, since most of these illnesses are caused by viruses, they typically resolve on their own, without the comfort of a prescription antibiotic.
The latest research in this area involved randomly dividing patients into two groups, one got the antibiotic and the other got a placebo to be taken three times a day for the next seven days. The work included almost 2,000 patients living in 12 European nations and asked them to complete an "illness" journal. The team saw that the severity and duration of symptoms in patients treated with antibiotics wasn't any different than those who'd been given a placebo. Of course if pneumonia is a likely cause of symptoms then antibiotics should still be used because this condition can be so dangerous, even to the young and healthy.
Professor Paul Little of the University of Southampton believes that not only could using antibiotics like amoxicillin to treat respiratory infections in those who aren't thought to have pneumonia not be helpful, it may potentially be hurtful to the patient. Using these medications, particularly when they aren't going to be effective, opens the door to the development of resistance while also having the potential for some unpleasant side effects.
Earlier research in this area has delivered conflicting findings concerning antibiotic use, particularly in an older patient where chest infections can be the beginning of other complications.
What's more, those taking the antibiotics reported side effects like nausea, rashes and diarrhea than those given the placebo pill.

Antibiotics Ineffective For Chest Infections Continued...
So what's the answer? The study found that people just get better on their own. There was little difference in the severity and duration of the symptoms reported between the two groups. This was even true for older patients, 60 or older, who actually made up a full third of the study population. For most of us chest infections can be managed at home by resting, drinking lots of fluids, treating any headache, fever or pain with paracetamol or ibuprofen, and if you smoke, stop until you're feeling better (maybe once and for all). A warm honey/lemon drink might help you feel less discomfort from coughing, though you should know that a cough is your body's natural way of clearing mucus from the lungs.
If your chest infection symptoms don't get better after three weeks, or they are so severe they limit your daily activities, you should see your doctor as something more may be going on.
There are a small number of patients who do benefit from antibiotic medications, the trick, of course, is to tell them from the rest. It's important for doctors, and the public at large, to recognize that antibiotics are not always the answer, and there are consequences, such as bacterial resistance in the community, that are a serious and growing threat.
To your good health,
